Jega, Utomi, Dansadau, Moghalu, Sonaiya, others to unveil alliance this month
The Fusion and Transition Council of the Third Force Mega Party initiated by the National Consultative Front, NCFront, yesterday, sought to “clear the air about some mischievous and misleading reports currently generating erroneous impression and confusion in the public space; among our teeming members, supporters and followers as regards the status of our much awaited Third Force Mega Party initiated in July, 2021 with the aim of rescuing Nigeria from the crisis ridden ruling parties in Nigeria.”
The group, in a statement by its representative, Bilikis Bello, said: “For the avoidance of doubt, our Fusion and Alliance talks towards the unveiling of the Third Force Alternative Party, to rescue and save Nigeria from misrule and leadership failure come 2023, was finally consummated last week, following the adoption of one of the nine allied political parties in our longstanding process for merger, fusion and lately alliance and the adopted Third Force Coalition Party will be unveiled at the end of this month to receive mass defection of like-minded politicians, including sitting and former lawmakers, governors, ministers and other political office holders tired of the current self-serving and insecure politics of the failed ruling parties in Nigeria.
“Again, as a matter of clarification, our Third Force Alternative Mega Party is not built around a single individual or leader or one group but around different political parties, major civil society and labour Platforms as well as a consortium of leaders of conscience and fresh breed political change champions in Nigeria, including key leaders of the EndSars Movement of the Nigerian Youths, who are currently implementing all agreements jointly reached last week in Abuja ahead of the formal unveiling of the Third Force Mega Alliance at the end of March 2022.”
“To this end and against the backdrop of erroneous reports in the press and social media, we wish to clarify that the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, recently adopted by Former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and his associates in The National Movement, TNM, is not the same as our much awaited Third Force Mega Party floated by our leaders of conscience, especially in the Nigerian civil society and labour movements under the broad umbrella of the National Consultative Front, NCFront otherwise known as the 2023 Rescue Movement.
“For further clarification, some of the key leaders of various coalescing groups and platforms in the Fusion and Alliance process of the Third Force are Prof. Pat Utomi, Prof. Attahiru Jega, Dr Usman Bugaje, Senator Saidu Dansadau, Prof Kingsley Moghalu, Mallam Falalu Bello, Chief Raph Okey Nwosu, Dr Tanko Yunusa, Comrade Promise Adewusi, Mni, Prof Remi Sonaiya, eminent leaders of the Nigerian civil society and labour movements, among other political icons and party leaders in Nigeria and in Diaspora.
“However, the doors of our mainstream Third Force Mega Platform soon to be launched for membership registration, ahead of the 2023 elections is still wide open, either for the Fusion or Electoral Alliance with interested like minded political parties, groups or individuals, including the NNPP and other groups that may be disenchanted with the current political system and order in Nigeria and may therefore see reasons to join hands with our umbrella third force platform in building a cohesive and formidable intervention towards rescuing Nigeria via ballot revolution come 2023.
